Provide your overall rating for the charging unit.
Tell us about your home charging routine.
I probably use the charger about once a week which at 80% gives about 180 miles, this is plenty for a weeks local journeys. If I plan to go further a field I charge to 100% which gives me between 215 and 250 miles.
If you were buying a new charging unit now, what would you buy and why?
I think I would still go for a Pod Point as I have not looked at buying another unit.
Tell us about your electricity provider and tariff. Would you recommend them?
EDF – at this time 18p a kWh normal day rate. I did ask EDF for an off-peak rate but this was far higher than the rate I am paying at the moment. Not the time for changing energy providers at this time.
Are you part of a charger-sharing scheme for those who don’t have their own charger?
No.
